In this step; Will be to the amplitude and the phase multiplication of the amplitude of each port input of said smart antenna array and phase place and measured corresponding port; Result of product addition with each port; The absolute value of addition result is carried out square, with the actual power output valve of this smart antenna array of gained square value simulation.
Second embodiment:
Fig. 2 is a smart antenna broadcast beam weight acquisition methods flow chart provided by the invention.As shown in Figure 2, this method comprises:
Step 201 is set up the model of smart antenna.
In this step, adopt method shown in Figure 1 to set up the model of smart antenna.
Step 202, the initial value of setting broadcast beam weight.
In this step, the initial value of broadcast beam weight can arbitrarily be confirmed, also can rule of thumb be worth definite.
Step 203, the smart antenna modeling of utilize setting up is imported the real output value behind the smart antenna array with broadcast beam weight.
In this step; Amplitude and phase multiplication with broadcast beam weight and measured corresponding port; Result of product addition with each port; The absolute value of addition result is carried out square, with the actual power output valve of gained square result said smart antenna array when said broadcast weight value is imported said corresponding port.
Step 204, relatively the actual power output valve and the target power output valve of simulation obtain the difference between the two.
Said difference for example is the actual power output valve of simulation and the variance of target power output valve.
Step 205 judges whether said difference satisfies predetermined condition, if, execution in step 207, otherwise, execution in step 206.
Step 206 according to the difference update broadcast beam weight of the two, and is returned step 203.
Step 207 is confirmed as corresponding broadcast beam weight the broadcast beam weight that obtains.
In step 205~207, whether the variance of actual power output valve and target power output valve of judging simulation less than first predetermined value, if less than, then upgrade broadcast beam weight.It is big that first predetermined value wherein can be provided with, and is convenient to like this get into the step of upgrading broadcast beam weight, thereby can constantly revises broadcast beam weight.
Wherein, After getting into the process of constantly revising broadcast beam weight; Write down minimum variance in the variance of actual power output valve and target power output valve of each time simulation, and the corresponding broadcast beam weight of variance that should minimum, judge this minimum variance keeps the number of times of minimum whether to reach second predetermined value in the pairing variance of each time simulation; If; The corresponding broadcast beam weight of the variance that this is minimum is confirmed as the broadcast beam weight that obtains, and if not, returns the step of upgrading broadcast beam weight.
The computational methods of said variance are: simulate the actual power output valve respectively according to different test point in the map of magnitudes that records and the phase diagram; Calculate the actual power output valve target power output valve corresponding of simulation and subtract each other the difference that obtains with said test point; The difference that each test point is corresponding is carried out weighted average, with result of weighted average as said variance.
Wherein,, confirm the corresponding weights coefficient respectively, in order to the corresponding difference of each test point is carried out weighted average according to requirement to approximation ratio between the actual power output valve of different test points in map of magnitudes and the phase diagram and the target power output valve.Particularly, high more to the requirement of the approximation ratio between said actual power output valve and the target power output valve, the weight coefficient of then corresponding test point correspondence is big more.
The concrete grammar of said renewal broadcast beam weight can for: on the basis of current broadcast wave beam weight, add or deduct the renewal step-length of said broadcast beam weight randomly, with the gained result as the broadcast beam weight that upgrades.
Wherein, after upgrading broadcast beam weight, the broadcast beam weight that can also judge renewal whether in preset range, if, return step 203, if not, return the step of upgrading broadcast beam weight.
It is because consider the restriction of every antenna maximum power in the smart antenna array that broadcast beam weight is limited in the preset range; Need the range value of every antenna be limited; Because each broadcast beam weight is all corresponding corresponding range value and phase value; Therefore, need broadcast beam weight be limited in the corresponding scope.
In Fig. 2; To come constantly to revise broadcast beam weight through the method for minimum variance; Thereby the method for obtaining the broadcast beam weight that finally satisfies network coverage requirement is an example, and the broadcast beam weight acquisition methods is illustrated, and Minimum Variance method wherein can adopt least variance method of the prior art to realize; In order to reduce amount of calculation; The invention allows for a kind of least variance method of definite broadcast beam weight locally optimal solution, be elaborated in the face of said Minimum Variance method down, specifically referring to Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is the method flow diagram that obtains broadcast beam weight through Minimum Variance method.As shown in Figure 3, this method comprises:
Step 301 is set initial values such as broadcast beam weight.

0(ka) and phase place initial value antPHZ
0(ka); The renewal step-length of broadcast beam weight specifically comprises amplitude renewal step-length step_AMP
0(ka) and phase place upgrade step-length step_PHZ
0(ka); Minimum variance memory ε ' is used to store the actual power output valve of simulation and the minimum variance between the target power output valve; Minimum variance is set to be kept time counter count and this count is initialized as 0; Minimum variance keeps frequency threshold value M; Amplitude range threshold value T (ka).Wherein, ka is an antenna index.
Step 302 adds or deducts step_AMP randomly on the basis of the range value that current broadcast wave beam weight antAMP (ka) is characterized
0(ka), on the basis of the phase value that antAMP (ka) is characterized, add or deduct step_PHZ
0(ka).
In this step, can produce random number, confirm to add or deduct step_AMP according to the size of random number
0(ka) or step_PHZ
0(ka).For example, produce the random number between 0~1, when the random number that produces greater than 0.5 the time, add step_AMP
0(ka) or step_PHZ
0(ka), be less than or equal at 0.5 o'clock, deduct step_AMP
0(ka) or step_PHZ
0(ka).
Step 303, the antAMP (ka) that judge to upgrade whether in preset range, if, execution in step 304, otherwise, return step 302.
In this step, judge T (ka) whether antAMP (ka)≤1 sets up, if, execution in step 304, otherwise return step 302.Wherein, consider the restriction of the maximum power of every antenna, the maximum of signal amplitude of every antenna of input is restricted to 1.
Step 304, utilize the smart antenna modeling with the broadcast beam weight input smart antenna that upgrades after, the performance number of the actual output of said smart antenna is calculated performance number that reality exports and the variance ε between the target power output valve.
In this step,
Wherein,

Ka(i) be in the amplitude pattern of the corresponding port of ka root antenna, the range value of i test point, phasePattern
Ka(i) be in the phase pattern of the corresponding port of ka root antenna, the phase value of i test point, P (θ (i)) are the actual power output valves that range value and the phase value according to corresponding test point simulates, P
Ideal(θ (i)) is the corresponding target power value of corresponding test point, and C (i) is the weight coefficient of corresponding test point.Wherein, the value of θ (i) be-180 spend to 180 the degree between arbitrary value.
P
Ideal(θ (i)) can take from the ideal power directional diagram of arbitrary shape; Specifically take from the ideal power directional diagram of which shape; Depend on after the broadcast beam weight input aerial battle array of obtaining require the power radiation pattern of the actual output of antenna array to approach which ideal power directional diagram.For example, to make at present, require the power radiation pattern of the actual output of antenna array to approach the ideal power directional diagram of 65 degree, then P after the broadcast beam weight input aerial battle array
Ideal(θ (i)) takes from the ideal power directional diagram of said 65 degree.
The concrete value of C (i) requires to set according to approaching of corresponding test point; Particularly; If the actual power output valve that simulates according to this test point and the approximation ratio between the target power output valve are had relatively high expectations, then C (i) be provided with big relatively, otherwise setting is relatively littler.
Whether step 305 judges the ε that calculates less than the value among the minimum variance memory ε ', if; With the count zero clearing, the value among the ε ' is updated to ε, the value in the broadcast beam weight memory is updated to current broadcast beam weight; Return step 302, if not, execution in step 306.
Wherein, the initial value of ε ' is the minimum variance threshold value.
Step 306 adds 1 with the value of count.
Whether step 307, the value of judging count greater than M, if, execution in step 308, otherwise, step 302 returned.
Step 308 is confirmed as the value in the broadcast beam weight memory broadcast beam weight that finally obtains.
It is big more that M value wherein is provided with, and the broadcast beam weight that obtains is accurate more.
Method amount of calculation shown in Figure 3 is less, can obtain the locally optimal solution of broadcast beam weight quickly.Certainly,, also can obtain many group broadcast beam weights, therefrom choose the minimum broadcast beam weight of corresponding ε as the broadcast beam weight that finally obtains through adopting method shown in Figure 3 repeatedly if dissatisfied to the locally optimal solution of obtaining.Wherein, when adopting method shown in Figure 3 to obtain many group broadcast beam weights repeatedly, can utilize the corresponding broadcast beam weight of minimum ε of having tried to achieve to come the initialization operation of completing steps 301.
